Brooks Ghost 17 GTX Women's

Brooks Ghost 17 GTX Women's review: what runners say

Fit

True to size in length. Standard version is medium-narrow; wide-footed runners should opt for available wide or extra-wide variants.

Feel

Stable and controlled cushioning with DNA Loft v3, lacking excessive softness. Predictable ride, wide platform, and smooth transition thanks to the drop reduction from 12mm to 10mm, which better balances heel and forefoot strike.

Durability

Rubber outsole with generous coverage and flex grooves. No signs of wear after 130 km; estimated lifespan of 700-800 km for runners around 80 kg.

Best for

Daily trainer for easy to moderate paces, from 10k to marathon. Suitable for beginner to intermediate neutral runners, including walkers. Not intended for interval training or fast racing.

Weak points

High weight for its category (286g). Below-average energy return. Tongue is short and narrow, causing sub-optimal pressure distribution on the instep. GTX version price premium feels excessive.
